Pontiac Trans Am

The Trans Am was a performance version of the Pontiac Firebird. Despits its name it was not used in the Trans Am Series until the displacement limit was lifted in the late seventies. It is especially noted for its late seventies to early eighties model, which features a large phoenix on the hood. This generation was used famously in Smokey and the Bandit. Like most Trans Am Series vehicles of the eighties, the Pontiac Trans Am was also used in IMSA GTO. A Firehawk edition was also available as an even more powerful version. The Trans Am was used in the IROC dirt racing championships along with its twin the Chevrolet Camaro. The Trans Am was also used in NASCAR support series for awhile.
